To get a better grasp on how the fee is directly affecting the North Carolina EV community, we reached out to several Plug-in NC ambassadors to hear their positions on the tax.Read more here.

Networked Charging Stations – Worth the Price?

For years now there has been a networked vs. non-networked charging
station debate. Should you pay extra to have a networked charging station that
provides you data on energy usage and allows you to collect payments? Or should
you save the money and just install a basic charging station? Join us for a
webinar on August 23 at 10:00 AM that will discuss the value of networked charging stations. Register by clicking here.
